If i had the ability to give this place a negative zero i would in a heartbeat. Terrible customer service. ordered a cheese steak wrap with NO STEAK inside, there was the smallest strip. Where is the meat? The onions were not sautéed, they are blocks! Lettuce? Since when? Cheese hard like he pulled it out of the freezer and had the audacity to not fix the problem and request an up charge to fix it? Are u kidding me? worst service ive had in my 34 years
We chose to try a visit to this place because of the higher rating on Google that had in comparison to other locations around it, but this is definitely an unappealing place that looks like it's in need of a desperate facelift.
It's an inline strip mall location, but immediately upon walking in, I noticed that it's very dark inside. And this is probably because more than half of the lights are either out or pinking out, where they don't provide much light at all. We are greeted immediately when we walked in, albeit was a greeting from the other end of the restaurant near the kitchen, with a server yelling at us that she can see us near the back of the restaurant. We were at just inside the front doors on the other end.
Is the atmosphere wasn't enough to deter us, the fact that they were charging very high prices for breakfast and other sides, in light of the dinghy atmosphere, was enough to make us almost walk out, but we ordered coffee to at least try their product before we did. The coffee is hot, and representative of normal diner quality coffee. Nothing to write home about.
If you're looking for a place to eat breakfast, I would probably skip this place and head down to a larger area like Reading, which is 20 minutes away, for some other options.
Me and my aunt went here and had the cinnamon bun french toast, it was phenomenal!! The service was amazing, and it had a nice peaceful atmosphere. 🩷Loved it and do reccomend
We just had breakfast here. It was fantastic! Great food. Fast service with a smile. Great prices. Will be our new “go to” place from now on.

Brooks for the most part is a packed house which it should be because the menu is awesome and unique. So many items to choose from and they have speciality coffees too. Staff is all on the go and making sure everyone has what they need at all times. Never a bad meal here. A+ Highly recommend. Breakfast and lunch alwys delicious.

I recently visited Brooks Cafe and had a great experience. The food was delicious, with fresh and flavorful options that didn’t disappoint. The service was also excellent—staff were attentive and friendly, making sure we were well taken care of. I’ll definitely be coming back! 💜

Great restaurant with reasonable prices and great service. I'm hoping they expand or get a bigger place. They deserve it! Food is excellent!

My family of five thoroughly enjoyed our lunch at Brooks. My husband and I got an omelet (veggie and chicken with boom boom sauce). The boys got pancakes. Everyone was happy. The service was great! Can’t wait to go again.

We stopped in for breakfast, husband ordered chipped beef that looked like it had been sitting in a crock pot all day. He said it tasted like flour, he could barely eat it. I ordered eggs, toast and bacon. The bacon was cold and seemed like it had been cooked and left to sit. My eggs were cold. The meal overall was not appetizing. Breakfast food is not hard….
They also need to detail clean the walls next to the booths, there is food debris and dust build up. Definitely won’t be going back, do not recommend.

I’ve been here once and I liked the food. Came back here with friend and my second experience was horrible. We waited 20 minutes for iced coffee and refresher and another 40 minutes for food. No one told us that it’s gonna take that long for fries and sandwich. I understand they were busy but other people who came after us, were served already and we were still waiting for food. That wasn’t right. We couldn’t wait any longer so we left.

My sister and I were looking for a late dinner option and was told at the nail salon that Brooks is NOW OPEN FOR DINNER!! I think the hours vary but during the week they are now open until 8 pm!!??? The food was good but we felt a little rushed by our server...we wanted to sit and talk but decided to leave beings we were the only ones there!! But they did surprise us with a nice "free" desert!! There version of a canoli...which was appreciated and very yummy!!!
Vegetarian options: There were a few on the menu...
Parking: Spaces are at a premium near any of the businesses beings it's a strip mall...

Cute cafe nestled in a small strip mall. Nice and clean, friendly staff, great menu selection.
